This sounds like Quark, which is a kind of yogurt cheese.

Like unsalted butter. Ain't I helpful? Actually, it tastes like
solidified cream, which, essentially, it is, minus most of the
whey.

I actually prefer unsalted (aka "sweet") butter for most
uses and especially for eating plain.

Which makes me want to preemptively quash a misunderstanding.
Sweet butter is not identical with sweet cream butter. The
former is sweet cream butter without added salt.
